Guardiola’s contract decision: The final straw for Cristina Serra

Pep Guardiola’s decision to extend his contract with Manchester City reportedly marked the ‘final straw’ for his wife, Cristina Serra.

This shocking revelation comes after their 30-year relationship faced significant strain.

Spanish showbiz reporters Lorena Vazquez and Laura Fa revealed that the contract extension in November deeply affected Serra, leading to the end of their marriage.

Moreover, the couple has lived apart for nearly five years. Cristina relocated to Barcelona to manage her fashion company, while Guardiola remained in Manchester.

Their family had envisioned starting anew in the United Arab Emirates.

However, Guardiola’s commitment to stay in Manchester until 2027 prompted Serra to declare, “enough was enough.”

Compounding these personal struggles, Guardiola’s professional life has also faced challenges.

Manchester City currently sits sixth in the Premier League and has underperformed in the Champions League.

This period has proven particularly tough for Guardiola, as he juggles both personal and professional pressures amid a lackluster season.

In December, Guardiola candidly shared his struggles with sleep and digestion during this difficult time.

After a draw with Feyenoord, he expressed his anxiety, stating, “I have bad days, and rudeness makes me nervous.”

He admitted that he often sleeps poorly and prefers light meals, indicating the toll this season has taken on him.

Looking ahead, it remains uncertain whether Guardiola and Serra can mend their relationship.

As they navigate these challenges, Guardiola must also focus on City’s upcoming match against lowly Ipswich Town in the Premier League.
