Pep Guardiola, manager of Manchester City, and his wife, Cristina Serra, have separated after three decades together.

A report by SPORT on Monday described their divorce as “cordial, stable, and friendly.”

The couple, who met in 1994 and married in 2014 near Barcelona, reportedly began to drift apart after living in different countries for over five years.

They have three children: Maria, 24, Marius, 22, and Valentina, 17.

Cristina Serra, a Brazilian journalist, has been living in Barcelona with their youngest daughter, Valentina, while Guardiola remains in Manchester.

The decision to separate was reportedly made in December, with only close family and friends initially aware of the split.

They have asked those close to them not to share further details.

Serra, who left Manchester in 2019 to work for her family’s fashion company, Serra Claret, has been seen with Guardiola on several occasions in 2023.

Meanwhile, in November, Guardiola signed a new two-year contract with Manchester City, extending his stay with the Premier League champions until 2027, despite previous speculation that he might leave at the end of his previous deal.
