Guo served for Inner Mongolia, Beijing Youth and China national youth between 1976 and 1989.[1] In 1990, Guo was appointed as the assistant coach of Beijing Team. On 9 May 2000, Guo joined Chinese Jia-B League club Chengdu Wuniu who struggled in the bottom of league,[2] and helped the club stay in the second tier for the next season. He was sacked by Chengdu on 16 September 2001.[3] He became the assistant coach of top-tier club Shenzhen Ping'an in December 2001.[4] He was appointed as the team's manager on 17 May 2005 after Chi Shangbin's dismission.[5] Despite severe financial problems, Guo led Shenzhen to reach the 2005 AFC Champions League semi-finals before heavily defeated by UAE champions Al Ain 6–0. He was suddenly sacked on 14 October 2005.[6]

Guo returned to football in December 2007 when he accepted the invitation of China League One club Anhui Jiufang.[7] On 15 April 2008, he resigned from the team due to "health problems".[8] He joined China League Two club Wenzhou Tomorrow in June 2008.[9] Guo became the manager of League Two club Hebei Zhongji on 16 August 2013.[10] Although Hebei Zhongji won promotion in the 2013 season by finishing the runners-up in League Two, he didn't extent his contract and left the club.[11]
