Cristina Serra, wife of manager Pep Guardiola, has reportedly decided to leave her Barcelona home for good after the manager failed to keep a promise he made to her. The British tabloid “Daily Star” details how the marriage entered into crisis 18 months ago. However, the episode would have represented the concrete endpoint of the relationship. The former Manchester City player and current manager and his partner began dating in 1994.
Despite this, they only made their union official in 2014. Their relationship gave birth to three children: Maria, 24, Marius, 22, and Valentina, 17. According to the source close to the two men consulted by the “Daily Star”, Guardiola promised Cristina that he would not renew his contract with Manchester City. So the idea was to move with his family to the United Arab Emirates.
However, he decided to expand relations with the English club, which will remain in effect for another year and a half. His previous contract with the Citizens expired in June this year. However, in November last year, he renewed his employment contract for another two years. The trend is therefore that his farewells take place at the end of the 26/27 season.
The source’s report states that there is still a chance for them to reconcile.
“They are leaving the door open for reconciliation. It may be that one day, when Pep retires from football and returns to Barcelona, they can resume their relationship. It is an amicable and thoughtful breakup, without drama, without arguments and without third-party involvement,” he reported. Guardiola and Cristina’s personal advisors have yet to comment publicly on the matter.

The Spanish coach began his career in Manchester in 2016 and has since managed to achieve the most important era in the club’s history. That’s because there are already ten titles in this range. He has already won a Club World Cup, a Champions League, six Premier Leagues and two FA Cups with the team.
In the current season, the team recovers and takes second place in the English championship. In this case, with two points less than leader Arsenal. In the Champions League, during the first phase of the tournament, the Citizens occupied fourth place.
Cristina Serra is the owner of a clothing brand, “Serra Claret”. As a result, she alternated between living at her home in Manchester and in the family home in Barcelona, in the Pedralbes district. The situation changed, according to the “Daily Star”, because she preferred to move to a smaller apartment, in the same city in Spain.
