Coaching career

Taking charge of Ilocos United of the Philippines Football League in 2017, his first time in charge of a fully professional team, Gillan brought in many young players for the upcoming season. By November that year, he had departed the club, with the Malaysian media dispersing rumors that he would be head coach of local side Sarawak for the 2018 season. Eventually, the Australian trainer signed a two-year contract to lead Sarawak on 2 December, doing his first training session with their squad two days later.
