Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola and his wife, Cristina Serra, have separated after 30 years together.
According to a report by SPORT on Monday, the divorce is “totally cordial, stable and friendly”.
The report claimed that Guardiola drifted apart from Cristina after working in different countries for at least five years.
The couple met in 1994 and got married in 2014 near Barcelona.
They have three children together: Maria, 24, Marius, 22, and Valentina, 17.
It is understood that Serra has been living in Barcelona full time with one of three daughters, Valentina, while Guardiola stays in Manchester.
Serra is a Brazilian journalist and has been pictured with Guardiola at different times last year.
The report stated that the decision to end their marriage was made in December, with only members of their inner circle initially aware of the split.
Friends and family have also been warned not to reveal more information about the divorce.
Serra left Manchester in 2019 to work in a fashion company owned by her family, Serra Claret.
In November, Guardiola put pen to paper on a new two-year contract with the Premier League champions until 2027, despite a belief he would leave the club at the end of his previous deal.
