Ermin Šiljak joined Botev Plovdiv on July 2015. He made a debut in a match against the local rivals Lokomotiv Plovdiv. Plovdiv derby ended in a 1-1 draw.
Šiljak achieved 5 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in his first 13 games as a manager of Botev Plovdiv in A Grupa. On 27 October, Botev Plovdiv was shockingly eliminated on the 1/8 finals of the Bulgarian Cup after 0-1 defeat by the outsiders FC Sozopol. After that Šiljak took the controversial decision to expel Yordan Hristov, Mariyan Ognyanov, Plamen Nikolov and Joël Tshibamba from the first team. The changes did not lead to any positive results with young players and his team lost twice in a row in A Grupa: 2-0 away defeat from Slavia Sofia and 1-3 home defeat from Beroe Stara Zagora.
