Jelišić made his professional debut for Blau-Weiß Linz in the Austrian 2. Liga on 16 August 2019, coming on as a substitute in the 72nd minute for Aleksandar Kostić against Austria Wien II.[3] Seven minutes later, he assisted Martin Kreuzriegler's headed goal to secure a 4–3 home win for Blau-Weiß Linz.[4]
Jelišić received citizenship for Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2015 from the Council of Ministers, and was therefore eligible to represent the country internationally.[5] He made four appearances for the under-21 national team in 2015, and scored one goal.[6][7][8][1]
On 11 October 2022, Jelišić was appointed new head coach of FC Pipinsried after former coach Miljan Prijovic was dismissed. He also continued as a player of the club.[9]
Jelišić's younger brother, Daniel, is also a footballer.[10]
