Pep Guardiola reveals divorce in new documentary for players

In the new documentary 'A Beautiful Obsession' about his years at Manchester City, manager Pep Guardiola openly speaks about his recent divorce from Cristina Serra. This takes place during an emotional moment with his players present.

Guardiola, who is 55 years old, shares with his players: "I am divorced from the most beautiful woman on earth." He emphasizes his deep feelings despite the separation by saying: "I love her incredibly, but we have lost our passion."

It is striking that Guardiola shares this personal information with his team just after a disappointing 2-0 loss to Juventus in the Champions League in 2024. This context adds extra emotional weight to the moment for both Guardiola and his players.

The documentary follows Guardiola over a two-year period at Manchester City and seems to offer a more intimate look into his life, both professional and personal. Such revelations have not been portrayed so personally in a documentary about a football manager before.

The four-part series will be available on Prime Video starting Wednesday and is sure to attract the attention of both football fans and viewers wanting to learn more about the man behind the manager.

Previous reports about Guardiola's personal life have been less invasive, making these revelations in 'A Beautiful Obsession' bring a new dimension to his story as a coach and as an individual.
