Mike is the younger brother of Manuel Ott who is also an international footballer for the Philippines[1] and also has a twin brother named Marco.[2] Their father is German and their mother is Filipina who is a native of Boracay in Malay, Aklan.[3]
Born in Munich, Ott had his youth career at TSV 1860 Munich. On 17 November 2012, he made his debut for the club's reserves in a 2–0 home defeat against Eintracht Bamberg. He scored 12 goals in 25 games for Munich II before joining 1. FC Nürnberg.[citation needed]
In April 2014, Ott signed a three-year deal with 1. FC Nürnberg.[4][5] In 2015–16, after failing to impress at the senior squad, Ott was demoted to Nürnberg's second team.[citation needed]
On 25 January 2017, Angthong F.C. of the Thai League 2 announced that they have signed Ott.[6]
In 2018, Ott joined Philippines Football League club Ceres-Negros. He reunited with his brother Manuel who is also a player of Ceres-Negros.[citation needed] In mid-2020, Ceres–Negros became United City, after undergoing a management change in mid-2020 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Ott and his brother were re-signed by the club's new owners.[7]
In June 2013, Ott was called up for the Philippines national team by German coach Michael Weiss for an international friendly against Hong Kong but eventually did not take part.[8] In late September 2016, he was called up by American coach Thomas Dooley for the October international friendly matches against Bahrain and North Korea as part of their preparation for the 2016 AFF Championship.[9]
He made his debut against Bahrain, coming on as a half-time substitute for Kevin Ingreso and scored the Philippines' only goal within five minutes as they lost 3–1.[10]
