The legendary former American quarterback acquired a stake in the team as part of the operation that allowed the Knighthead group to take control of the English entity in 2023.
"Birmingham City Football Club expresses its sincere gratitude to Tom Brady for his participation and unwavering support for the club over the last three years," the English team wrote in a statement.
"It was really incredible to have someone with Tom's experience and passion linked to the club," he added.
Brady, 49, retired in 2023 after 23 seasons in the NFL, a career in which he won seven Super Bowl titles with the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The departure of the former player occurs while Birmingham is going through a great sporting moment and leads the Championship, the second category of English football, with aspirations of returning to the Premier League.
