At that time, Singtao shared their ground with Hong Kong FC, a club with expatriate background.[27] Hsu was the manager and coach of Singtao in 1966–67 season, before leading Republic of China (Taiwan) in July 1967.[28] He returned as manager in the 1967–68 season.[29] He was the manager[nb 2] of Singtao in the next few seasons: (1968–69,[30][31] 1969–70,[32] 1970–71,[33] 1971–72[34] and 1972–73[35]) Since 1970 he also handed over some of the coaching job to his assistant Tam Hon Sun (譚漢新).[36] In 1972–73 season, Tam formally known as coach (教練) during Hsu's vacation to 1972 Summer Olympics.[37] Ironically, the team relegated in 1973.
