Playing career
Wang played for the Bayi Football Team in the 1970s.[2] He was selected for the China national team squad for the 1974 Asian Games. There are also different opinions that he was selected for the 1975 friendly match squad[3][4] or only for the youth team.[2]

He later became affiliated with the Pakistan Army club.[6] In 1995, he returned to China. In 1999, he led the Bayi Football Team. Xiaohe then coached Xi'an Anxinyuan, which had a cooperative relationship with the Bayi Football Team, but failed to achieve the goal of promotion and was fired.[1] He returned to Pakistan to coach the Pakistan Army football team.[2]
Installed again as head coach of Pakistan in December 2003 on the recommendations of the Pakistan Army club,[6] with Tariq Lutfi and Balal Butt being named as his assistants,[7][8][9] Wang was known for his stringent training program which focused on footballers' stamina during his time there.[5] He again clinched the gold medal at the 2004 South Asian Games with the Pakistan national under-23 team.[10][11][12]
In April 2004 Wang was discharged after the PFF didn't retain him.[5] He later continued to coach military football players in Pakistan.[13]
