Jeremy Chiang Wei Jian (born 11 April 1985) is a Singaporean former professional footballer who played as a right-back for Warriors FC in the S-League. Jeremy is now an entrepreneur[2] and head coach with ActiveSG Football Academy (AFA) and Still Aerion WFC.

Playing career

Jeremy was part of the Warriors team that won the 2014 S.League. He retired from the game because of a ACL injury in 2014.[3] He went on to be The New Paper’s S.League pundit after retiring.[4]

In 2016, Jeremy returned to top-flight football with the Warriors FC. However, he got into trouble as he offered betting tips as in The New Paper (TNP) for all of the week's S.League matches. The Football Association of Singapore requested both the player and the club to provide an explanation.[5]

In a club statement, the Warriors FC said that the predictions were made prior to the signing with the club. After signing with the club, Jeremy had informed TNP that he would stop providing his free voluntary predictions with immediate effect.

Coaching career

Jeremy joined ActiveSG Football Academy in 2017. He went on to become the head coach in 2019, helming programmes at Toa Payoh.[6]

In 2024, Jeremy was appointed as the head coach of the Still Aerion WFC.[7]

Jeremy opened a cafe The WEJS with Walid Lounis and their spouses after suffering a serious injury in early 2014.[8]

He also started his own business Churros Factory with his wife in 2014.[9]

Personal life

Jeremy is married with Png Suyi. They have a daughter, Sasha and a son Jaevis. Like his father, Jaevis is also a defender who played for ActiveSG FA elite team and then the Junior Development Centre (JDC) Under-11 team.[10]
