It was reported in Spain that Pep Guardiola, the head coach of Manchester City, has begun the process of divorce from his wife Christina Serra.

Spanish broadcaster Lorena Vázquez appeared on the Spanish TV show `Y Ahora Sonsoles' on the 24th (local time) and said Guardiola and Christina were trying to maintain friendly relations for their three children and avoid an ugly court battle.

Lorena says "The most surprising thing is that they both hired the same lawyer. Money won't be a problem. We hope that all procedures will be settled in a friendly manner for our children" he said. `Christina doesn't like to be in tabloids.'




In an exclusive report last month, the Spanish daily 『Sport" said Guardiola agreed with Christina in December last year to go their separate ways. The media reported that close acquaintances were asked not to disclose it to the media.

Guardiola and Christina were known as the parakeet couple. The two met and fell in love with a soccer player in 1994 when Guardiola was playing as a midfielder for Barcelona.

The couple, who had a secret wedding in Barcelona in 2014, now have three children.




Guardiola and Christina have been separated since 2019, according to reports from England 'Mirror'. Guardiola stays in Manchester and focuses on Manchester City's work, while Christina travels to and from Barcelona and London to concentrate on her fashion business.

To borrow the expression 'Sport', it was a form of 'unliving couple'. Decided to separate, but spent time together on the big day.

'Sport' states that 'their relationship is still friendly and stable' Guardiola said in an interview in January 2024 "My wife is the best in the world in many ways. Especially on the fashion side. If you usually advise me 'Don't wear this, don't wear that', I will follow it as it is.' On one occasion, he said that his wife gives him an idea to draw up a starting lineup.

According to Lorena, Guardiola's decision to extend his two-year contract with Manchester City in November last year was a decisive moment for Christina to divorce. Christina, who returned to Barcelona with her youngest child in 2019 and has been focusing on her business, said she felt it was "time to quit" when she heard her husband had decided to stay in Manchester until at least 2027.

Guardiola has been seen wearing a wedding ring since rumors of a divorce emerged, producing various rumors. Lorena says "It's amazing that Guardiola still wears her wedding ring. I don't know if I keep wearing it as a gesture of respect for my marriage or if I left the door open to reconciliation."

Christina said in an interview with a media outlet after news of the split broke last month that she was `in a good mood.' As for the reason for the breakup, he chose to remain silent.

Guardiola is having a hard time both inside and outside the stadium. Manchester City, which is in its first crisis since Guardiola took office, is currently in fifth place in the English Premier League as of the 26th. It is 20 points different from the leading Liverpool, so the league has actually lost five consecutive games. In the European Champions League, he also suffered the humiliation of early elimination after losing the knockout stage play-off against Real Madrid.
