Amid a surprisingly fraught season at Manchester City, news broke on Monday that decorated manager Pep Guardiola is separating from his wife, Cristina Serra. Although Guardiola has worked at the Etihad for nearly nine years, the couple are thought to have lived apart for at least five of them, with Serra living in Barcelona with their three children Maria, 24, Marius, 22, and Valentina, 17.

Guardiola and Serra are said to be keen for relations to remain as they are, namely, 'friendly and cordial', but with the possibility of a looming divorce, maintaining such an atmosphere could prove challenging. The former Barcelona manager is believed to be worth an estimated £35million, and could yet see a portion settled with Serra after their 30-year marriage.
