Guardiola and Serra have split after 30 years together. The two are said to have informed close friends and family, although they are maintaining a cordial relationship and spent Christmas together with their three children.
In 2019, it was reported that Serra had left Manchester with one of the couple’s children to return to Barcelona to run her fashion company. She then continued to divide her time between the Spanish city and London, and while they stayed in touch, Guardiola remained in Manchester for the duration. They have now agreed to part ways.
Guardiola and Serra met in 1994, when he was 23 and she was 20, but they did not get married until 2014. Their three children, Maria, Marius and Valentina, are 24, 22 and 17 respectively.
Guardiola will hope to focus on solely on on-pitch matters this week as City play Brentford. They are currently sixth in the Premier League table.
