Šiljak managed Slovenian under-16 and under-19 national teams.
In 2012, he was a manager of Olimpija Ljubljana.[1]
Ermin Šiljak joined Botev Plovdiv in July 2015.[2] He made a debut in a match against the local rivals Lokomotiv Plovdiv. Plovdiv derby ended in a 1–1 draw.[3]
Šiljak achieved five wins, three draws, and five defeats in his first thirteen games as a manager of Botev Plovdiv in A Grupa.[4] On 27 October 2015, Botev Plovdiv was eliminated in the Round of 16 of the Bulgarian Cup after a 1–0 defeat to FC Sozopol.[5] After that, Šiljak expelled Yordan Hristov, Mariyan Ognyanov, Plamen Nikolov, and Joël Tshibamba from the first team.[6] The changes did not lead to any positive results with young players as his team lost twice in a row in A Grupa: a 2–0 away defeat to Slavia Sofia and a 3–1 home defeat to Beroe Stara Zagora.[7][8]
After less than six months, at the end of November 2015, Šiljak resigned as a manager of Botev Plovdiv.[9]
On 21 April 2016, China League One club Dalian Transcendence signed Ermin Šiljak as manager for two years.[10] By August however, Šiljak was sacked by the team due to financial reasons.[11]
Šiljak played for the Slovenia national football team and was a participant at the Euro 2000. He scored nine goals in nine games in UEFA Euro 2004 qualifying.[12]
