Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and his wife Cristina Serra have reportedly separated after 30 years together.
The news of their split was initially reported by the Spanish outlet, Sport.
The couple, who met in 1994, had been living apart for over five years, with Serra relocating to Barcelona with their 17-year-old daughter Valentina, while Guardiola stayed in Manchester.
Guardiola, 53, and Serra married in a private ceremony on the outskirts of Barcelona in 2014, but they have now decided to part ways. They also have two other children together: Maria, 24, and Marius, 22.
Despite living in different cities, Guardiola and Serra, a Brazilian journalist and writer, had remained a couple and were often seen together over the years.
Sport reports that the decision to end their marriage was made in December, with only close friends and family being aware of the separation. They have been asked not to share further details.
The report also states that their relationship remains “totally cordial, stable, and friendly” despite the split.
