A sharp turn has occurred in the personal life of Josep Guardiola, an experienced coach who has achieved many high successes in European football and was able to bring new spirit to clubs. The Spanish specialist, currently working as the head coach of one of England's most prestigious teams – Manchester City – tried everything to preserve his thirty-year family life, but in the end, it was not possible, reported La Gazzetta dello Sport.
According to the publication, the relationship between Pep Guardiola and his wife Cristina Serra is now coming to an end. In fact, they had made the decision to divorce at the end of 2024, but for several months they tried to understand each other and reconcile. Due to various needs, feelings, and past memories, they decided to give it one more chance.
Unfortunately, this attempt was also unsuccessful. The last efforts made to restore the relationship also bore no fruit. According to sources, it is difficult to say exactly what ended their relationship, but factors such as the reduction of feelings between them, the fading of warmth, and differences in personal interests are cited as the main reasons.
In addition, the couple lives geographically apart. Guardiola works in Manchester City and is mainly based in Manchester, while Serra lives between Barcelona and London. They were only able to be together during holidays and vacation times.
According to the latest reports, the process of formalizing the divorce has already begun and is expected to be finalized soon. This event is being marked as one of the most significant changes in Pep Guardiola’s personal life.
Notably, during the first half of last season, Manchester City's results were also quite weak. Many sports analysts linked this decline to Guardiola’s personal life issues. According to them, the coach’s mental state inevitably affects the team’s performance on the field.
No matter how great Pep Guardiola’s professional achievements are, problems in personal life can affect anyone. It is still unclear how this event will influence his future decisions and emotional state. But one thing is certain: Guardiola will learn his own lesson from this trial and may open a new chapter in his life.
