Ojrzyński played for Pomowiec Sońsk, Tęcza Płońsk and AZS AWF Warszawa.[1]

He was the manager of Ekstraklasa teams such as Korona Kielce, Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała and Górnik Zabrze.[2] Previously he also managed a youth team of Legia Warsaw, Milan Milanówek, the reserve team of Polonia Warsaw, Znicz Pruszków, Wisła Płock, Raków Częstochowa, Odra Wodzisław Śląski and Zagłębie Sosnowiec.[1] He was appointed manager of Arka Gdynia in April 2017.[3] He left the club in June 2018.[4]

On 11 November 2020, he was announced as the manager of Stal Mielec.[5] On 12 April 2021 he was dismissed.[6]

On 17 December 2021, Ojrzyński made his return to Korona Kielce, signing a contract to manage the team until the end of the 2022–23 season.[7] Korona finished the season in fourth and entered promotion play-offs, won by Korona after a last-minute goal by Jacek Kiełb in extra-time of the final against Chrobry Głogów on 29 May 2022. However, the team struggled after their return to top flight, resulting in Ojrzyński being relieved of his duties following a 1–1 home draw against Piast Gliwice on 29 October 2022.[8]
