Tom Brady is set to become Fox Sports's head NFL analyst once he retires.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion’s post-retirement plan was announced Tuesday by Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch.

“We are delighted that Tom has committed to joining the Fox team and wish him all the best during this upcoming season,” Murdoch said.

Brady, 44, verified the news on social media.

“Excited, but a lot of unfinished business on the field with the @Buccaneers #LFG,” he tweeted.

When Brady does take up his new role as a lead NFL analyst, he will call games with Kevin Burkhardt and act as an “ambassador” for “client and promotional initiatives,” according to a report.

Brady had retired for a brief period earlier this year, but he said he came back due to “unfinished business.”

“At the end of the day, I just love the competition on the field,” he said.

“And last year was a very bitter ending to a season, and we’ve got to make a lot of corrections to try to improve and put ourselves in a better position to succeed moving forward.”

According to the Roster Management System, Brady has made $302,674,250. The three-time NFL MVP is scheduled to make another $15 million in the 2022 season, bringing his 23-year career earnings to $317,674,250 through this coming season.

Fox recently lost its top football announcers, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, to ESPN and replaced Buck with Burkhardt.

“I think that’s excellent,” Buccaneer’s offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich said Tuesday. “It’s crazy when you’re 45, you have to think of your next job when you’re still playing football, right? You have to do this early, right?

“But it’s the way he sees football. That’s what I love. That’s what makes our relationship unique -- the way he sees football. I love the way he sees football. It’s similar to the way I saw it. ... He’s a football junkie and he has an interesting perspective of this position, and I think it would be great for everyone to hear that, everyone to hear it, to see/hear how he’s wired, the way that he sees football, because we’re talking about the best ever, right? The fact that you get the best ever to play the quarterback position, have an opportunity to listen to him talk about football -- a year from now, two years from now, three years from now -- is a great thing.”
