Ermin Šiljak (born 11 May 1973) is a Slovenian professional football manager and former player who played as a centre forward.

International career

[edit]

Šiljak made his debut for Slovenia in a March 1994 away friendly match against Macedonia. By the end of his career, he had earned a total of 48 caps for the national team and scored14 goals.[1] He played at the Euro 2000, and scored nine goals in nine games in the UEFA Euro 2004 qualifying campaign.[2] His final international was an October 2005 World Cup qualification match against Scotland.[3]

Managerial career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Between 2007 and 2011, Šiljak managed Slovenian under-16 and under-19 national teams.

In 2012, he was announced as the new manager of Olimpija Ljubljana.[4]

Botev Plovdiv

[edit]

Šiljak joined Botev Plovdiv in July 2015.[5] His first match in charge was against local rivals Lokomotiv Plovdiv. The Plovdiv derby ended in a 1–1 draw.[6]

Šiljak achieved five wins and three draws in his first thirteen games as a manager of Botev.[7] On 27 October 2015, Botev was eliminated in the Round of 16 of the Bulgarian Cup. At that point, Šiljak decided to expel Yordan Hristov, Mariyan Ognyanov, Plamen Nikolov, and Joël Tshibamba from the first team,[8] but these changes did not lead to better results. Šiljak relied on young players in the next two league mathes and lost both. At the end of November 2015, after less than six months in charge, Šiljak resigned as the manager of Botev Plovdiv.[9]

Dalian Transcendence

[edit]

On 21 April 2016, China League One club Dalian Transcendence announced Ermin Šiljak would be their manager for the following two years.[10] On 10 August 2016, however, Šiljak was sacked by the club, after only 112 days in charge, and 5 wins and 4 draws in 15 games.[11]

Baoding Yingli

[edit]

In May 2017, Šiljak joined the China League One club Baoding Yingli as an assistant coach to Jo Bonfrere.[12] Seven games before the end of the season, the owners sacked the whole coaching team (including Šiljak) without an official explanation.

Aris Thessaloniki

[edit]

On 29 April 2023, Ermin Šiljak was hired as the head coach at Greek Super League club Aris Thessaloniki,[13] with a specific goal to secure a spot in one of the European competitions in the following season. He signed a two-month contract, until 30 June 2023. Under his management, two rounds before the end of the season, the club successfully secured a spot in the 2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round. Despite this success, club owners decided not to extend Šiljak's contract and decided to replace him with Apostolos Terzis.
