Borned in Kunming, Guo returned to his hometown Beijing in 1946 after the Second Sino-Japanese War ended. He began his football career for Beijing Team's youth team and later graduated to the senior team in 1965. He became a football coach after his retirement in 1975.

He was sacked by Chengdu on 16 September 2001. He became the assistant coach of top tier club Shenzhen Ping'an in December 2001. He was appointed as the team's manager on 17 May 2005 after Chi Shangbin's dismission. 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.

Guo returned to football in December 2007 when he accepted the invitation of China League One club Anhui Jiufang. On 15 April 2008, he resigned from the team due to "health problems". He joined China League Two club Wenzhou Tomorrow in June 2008. Guo became the manager of League Two club Hebei Zhongji on 16 August 2013.
