He was selected in the National Olympic Team and National A-Team, playing 5 games at international level.
He also had a chance to play in the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

Finally, after years of diligence, Choi was appointed as Bucheon SK's head coach for the 2001 season.
However, though he had no problems with the team and was able to lead it fairly well, the Bucheon SK board decided to change their manager.
The lack of results in 2002 was frustrating for fans and players, and confidence was low.
However, Choi inspired the team and completely changed it by implementing a 4-3-3 formation.
In 2003, after the poor results of their 2002 season, Daejeon Citizen selected Choi as their coach.
Choi, originally from Daejeon, willingly came back to his hometown.

In addition to his management skills, Choi is also famous for his humble personality - a key factor in ensuring a harmonious team, once quoting "I want to make this the team that a player chooses on his own volition, and not by my own will or force. I shall not buy abilities and just gather the best players. This will be a team played by humans, a team that players love, and a team who dreams the same dreams as the fans."
On October 10, 2011, he signed a one-year contract to V-League's Hoàng Anh Gia Lai - one of the most popular football club of Vietnam.
Choi returned to the K League 2 managing Gangwon FC in 2015.
