Upon returning to Spain, Seligrat was named in charge of CF Gandía in May 2008, and managed to achieve promotion to Segunda División B with the club in 2010. He subsequently left the club for CD Olímpic de Xàtiva, whom he also helped promote to the third division in 2011.

On 18 June 2012, Seligrat was appointed manager of third division side Lleida Esportiu. At the club, he managed to reach the promotion play-offs twice, but was knocked out in both times; he subsequently left the club.

On 22 June 2017, Seligrat was named manager of CE Sabadell FC, still in the third division. He was sacked by the club on 14 January 2019, after nearly fighting with the club's supporters in his last match in charge.

On 17 November 2019, Seligrat was appointed at Gimnàstic de Tarragona, freshly relegated to the third division. The following 11 June, he renewed his contract with the club until 2021.

Seligrat left ''Nàstic'' on 12 May 2021, as his contract ended. On 18 June, he was named in charge of Deportivo Alavés' reserves in Tercera División RFEF.

Seligrat left the ''Miniglorias'' on 16 June 2022, and returned to Lleida on 28 December. The following 2 February, he left the club and became Voro's assistant at Valencia CF; twelve days later, despite the managerial change to Rubén Baraja, he was kept as an assistant.
