==Coaching career==
===AC St. Louis=== On June 24, 2010, Schilly was named the new head coach of AC St. Louis, a team that had just begun playing that year in the USSF Division 2 Professional League. The club appointed Schilly after starting the season with a disappointing 2-7-1 record under outgoing coach Claude Anelka.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://acstlfanatic.wordpress.com/2010/06/24/ac-st-louis-names-new-coach |title = AC St. Louis Names New Coach {{!}} The NASL Fanatic!}}</ref> Schilly's introduction improved the team's fortunes, leading them to a 5-8-7 record under his management. Despite this improvement, AC St. Louis ceased operation after the 2010 season due to financial issues.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.stltoday.com/sports/soccer/ac-st-louis-goes-out-of-business/article_4a85b488-0fbd-56d2-b17e-b408d13532e9.html| title = AC St. Louis goes out of business {{!}} Soccer {{!}} stltoday.com}} </ref>
