The English Professional Football Championship (minor league) Birmingham announced the recruitment of Baek Seung-ho on Jan. 30 (Korea time). His contract period runs through the 2025-26 season.
In an interview with the British daily Birmingham Mail, coach Tony Mobri recalled, "I have managed Koreans. If I teach one thing (not only that), I try to incorporate it into the relevant field," adding, "They were amazing players who listened carefully to instructions, were not satisfied with the status quo, and wanted to get better."
Kim Doo-hyun was coached by West Bromwich Albion (England) in 2008 and 2009, while Ki Sung-yueng was coached by Tony Mowry at Celtic (Scotland) in 2010. When asked about Baek Seung-ho, Mobri's mention of former Korean students shows the good impression he had at the time.
Based on the 2008/2009 K League 1 Best 11 and 2009 Asian Football Confederation Prospects of the Year awards, Ki's first club and manager in Europe was Celtic and Tony Mowry.

Ki Sung-yueng has recorded two assists in 10 matches in Scotland's top division under manager Tony Mowry. Kim Doo-hyun has played a vital role in the Championship, Premier League, and English Football Association Cup, with two goals and one assist in 26 matches.
Tony Mobri will take turns coaching Korea's best central midfielders, including Kim Doo-hyun, Ki Sung-yueng, and Baek Seung-ho. Baek Seung-ho shined in fifth place in the 2023 K League 1 Most Valuable Player . In May, he performed well with three goals in four games and received the best monthly award.
