Born in Avellaneda, Stillitano played as a senior for Club Atlético Lugano and Sportivo Dock Sud before retiring. He started his managerial career in 2011, being in charge of San Martín de Burzaco.[1]

In 2014, Stillitano was in charge of Juventud Unida for a short period,[2] before joining Ariel Holan's staff at Banfield in January 2015, as an assistant of the youth sides. He subsequently followed Holan to Defensa y Justicia and Independiente, always as his assistant.[3]

In January 2019, Stillitano became the manager of Independiente's reserve side.[4] In November of that year, he joined Gustavo Quinteros' staff at Club Tijuana, as his assistant, and also followed him to Colo-Colo.[5]

On 12 November 2022, Stillitano returned to Independiente, after being appointed manager of the club for the 2023 season.[6] The following 18 March, he left the club on a mutual agreement,[7] and joined Javier Mascherano's staff at the Argentina national under-20 team in the following month.
