In the 2008–09 season, he was appointed as the head coach of Hong Kong First Division League club Tai Po, leading the club climbing to the top of the table in October.[1] He was also appointed as the head coach of Hong Kong League XI participating in 2009 Lunar New Year Cup.

Tai Chung

He joined another First Division club Tai Chung in July 2009.[2] Although he helped the club avoid relegation to the Second Division, he was sacked as he breached the rule of game on 16 May 2010 against South China, which caused the club awarded a 0–3 loss. The match was originally ended with a 1–1 draw.[3]

He remained at the club as the assistant coach in the 2011–12 season.
