Guardiola went through a difficult period both professionally and personally after separating from his long-time partner Cristina Serra. |
With their 1-1 draw against West Ham in the 30th round of the Premier League on the morning of March 15th, Manchester City are highly likely to lose their title race this season. Prior to that, Pep Guardiola's team also lost 0-3 to Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.
This raises the prospect of a major setback for Guardiola in the 2025/26 season. Pep struggled in the 2024/25 season. Many analyses from the media and fans suggest this marks a new low point in the illustrious career of the Catalan coach.
El Pais noted that it is rare for Pep to experience such a prolonged period of professional decline, during which he made numerous poor decisions. Sources from the Spanish press suggest that this personal shock has affected Guardiola's emotional stability.
Many friends revealed that Pep admitted to feeling lonely and showed clear signs of stress. Prior to this, the divorce process began in late 2024, with the main reason stemming from Guardiola's workaholic lifestyle.
Cristina Serra moved to Barcelona in 2019 to manage her family's fashion business, while Pep Guardiola remained in Manchester to focus on his career. His signing a contract extension until 2027, instead of leaving as previously discussed, is believed to have been the "last straw," leading Serra to decide to terminate her contract.
The couple had tried to reconcile (Guardiola visited Barcelona several times in 2025), but they have maintained a distant relationship to this day.
