Player career
Chang, unlike many of his teammates who have played football since young ages, started his football career at the age of 14. After graduating from junior high school, he was enrolled into National Dajia Industrial Senior High School (Chinese: 大甲高級工業職業學校). He performed well in domestic youth competitions. He also played for the Taipei City Bank F.C. in the Chinese Taipei National Football League when he was 18.
However, he did not pass the entrance examination of Taipei Physical Education College. He chose to serve military service and was able to play for military-organized Flying Camel and National Sports Training Center football team due to his experience in Taipei City Bank F.C.
After completing the military service, Chang entered Taipei Physical Education College in 1998.
In 2001, he was called up to represent the Chinese Taipei national football team in the 2002 FIFA World Cup qualification rounds.
Managerial career
Since December 2005, he has been appointed assistant coach to Chinese Taipei national football team under then head coach Toshiaki Imai. He became Taipei Physical Education College football team's head coach in 2009.
