After 30 years together, Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola and his wife, Cristina Serra, have decided to go their separate ways. This news was first reported by the Spanish publication Sport.

Guardiola and Serra met in 1994 and married in 2014 during a private ceremony near Barcelona. They have three children: Maria, 24; Marius, 22; and Valentina, 17.

For the past five years, the couple lived apart. Cristina moved to Barcelona with Valentina, while Pep stayed in Manchester to focus on his coaching career. Despite the distance, they maintained a public image of unity and were often seen together at events.

Reports suggest the couple made the decision to part ways in December 2024, keeping it private within their close circle. Trusted friends and family were instructed not to share further details. However, sources indicate that the split was amicable, and they remain on good terms.

This marks the end of a long partnership between the football coach and the Brazilian journalist and writer. While the news may come as a surprise to fans, it is clear that the couple’s decision was mutual and handled with respect.
