In 1982, Chang officially started his professional football career. He joined a team called Daewoo Royals. He was one of the first South Korean players in the new professional league, the 1983 K League.
Success with Daewoo Royals
By the next year, Daewoo Royals became a fully professional team. Chang proved to be a strong left-back, helping his team win the 1984 K League title. The Daewoo Royals continued to be one of the best teams in the league.
Chang helped his team win the AFC Champions League in 1985. He also won another K League title in 1987. Sadly, he had to stop playing due to an injury.
Brief Return to Playing
By 1989, Chang had already started coaching. However, a Japanese football club, Tosu Futures, asked him to play again for a short time. He joined them as a player-coach.
Coaching Career Journey
Chang Woe-ryong has had a long and successful career as a football coach. He has managed several teams in South Korea, Japan, and China.
Leading Incheon United
In September 2004, Chang became the temporary manager for Incheon United. He did such a good job that in January 2005, he was made the permanent manager. Under his leadership, Incheon United finished as runners-up in the 2005 K League.

Coaching in Japan and China
On December 10, 2008, a Japanese club called Omiya Ardija announced that Chang would be their head coach until 2010.
Later, in December 2015, Chang accepted an offer to coach Chinese Super League team Chongqing Lifan. He chose this team because the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea had been based in Chongqing during a difficult time in Korean history. This showed his connection to his country's past.
