Early life
Michael was born in Graz, Styria, Austria, to his beautiful parents, Werner Gregoritsch and Sussane Gregoritsch.
He was raised alongside his elder brother Matthias Gregoritsch, with whom he is very close.
Michael, in an interview, said that his mother was a pediatrician and his father was a teacher, so it was pivotal for him and his parents that he did his high school diploma.
He dreamt of becoming a professional footballer, so he didn’t have a fully developed plan B.
At the age of six, he started playing for the Austrian side Grazer Athletiksport Club and went to football boarding school at 14.
After graduating from high school at the age of 18, he became a professional at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.
Age
He was born on the 18th of April, 1994. He is currently 29 years old.
Net Worth
His net worth is estimated to be around $5 million.
His father is Austrian under-21 national team head coach
Michael inherited his football talent from his father. He is the son of the Austrian under-21 national team head coach, Werner Gregoritsch.
Before taking over Austria's under-21 national team, his father managed Kapfenburger SV, SV Mattersburg, and Grazer AK.
He has a historical record
Michael has a historical record.
He became the youngest goalscorer in the history of the Austrian Bundesliga after he scored his first league goal for Kapfenburger against Austria Wien in less than three minutes after arriving as an 82nd-minute substitute.
He was only 15 years and 361 days old at the time.
His father, Werner, who was in charge of that day, said in an interview that his son would be much better than he was.
His relationship with his father
During an interview with Goal, when asked about his relationship with his father, he said his relationship with him is good and close, with a great knack for praise and criticism and recalled his father's saying to him that when someone has stripped down their underpants, the question is whether you help them put them back on or whether you pull them down too.
His father manages that mix very well, he said.
He also added that his father is proud of what he has achieved but at the same time can be strict and is very outspoken.
In another interview, he said his father is an incredible father and one of his closest friends.
And yet he is one level above him because of the responsibility he has on him or at least had it for the first 18 years of his life.
Who is his wife?
Michael is yet to get married but he is currently in a relationship with his girlfriend.
Though he has not revealed the face of his girlfriend, he has mentioned about his girlfriend.
In an interview back in 2023, he said his environment is very important for him to build confidence, his whole family, his girlfriend, and his little dog which he adopted almost a year ago.
