Managerial career

In 2014, Poon was appointed as the assistant coach of Wong Tai Sin, where he said, "When I first debuted, I had a poor relationship with the media and the class owner.

But at that time, I thought of learning from the Mainland and paving the way for my coaching career. I didn't consider whether my income would be more than that of Hong Kong."{{Cite web|url=http://paper.wenweipo.com/2018/12/25/SP1812250021.htm|title=首位香港教練執掌中甲球隊潘文俊看好球市前景|publisher=paper.wenweipo.com}}
