What Tom Brady’s exit means for Birmingham City: Why NFL legend quit St Andrew’s, ‘body coach’ Alex Guerrero’s future role revealed – and impact on Knighthead’s ambitious £2bn plans for Premier League push and new stadium

Tom Brady has ended his three-year association as a minority investor with Birmingham City, the club announced via a statement on Monday. The NFL legend struggled to balance his commitments in England with his US broadcast contract and ownership of the Las Vegas Raiders. Despite Brady's departure, the methods of his longtime body coach Alex Guerrero will remain integral to the Championship leaders' fitness and recovery setup.

Birmingham owners Knighthead confirmed they will proceed unaffected with their £2billion Sports Quarter project, which includes a new 62,000-seat stadium development called the Powerhouse. Manager Chris Davies' team currently sits top of the Championship, with the club's leadership maintaining that Brady's exit will not derail their push for Premier League promotion.
