According to the Sun, Guardiola's divorce proceedings are about to be completed and may be announced next month.

Guardiola and his wife Christina Serra originally hoped to break up friendly, but sources revealed that the relationship between the two has deteriorated and has now become "more urgent".

The Sun reported on Guardiola's marriage in January, when it coincided with the trough of his coaching career, and people began to worry that Guardiola's current marriage crisis would cast a shadow on the new season.

According to people familiar with the matter, Guardiola's relationship with his estranged wife Christina is "from friendly to politeness" because the two sides are in "complex negotiations." They expect the divorce details to be finalized within weeks, as early as next month.

The famous Spanish journalists Laura Fa and Lorena Vazquez, who first exposed the news of their divorce, insisted that there was no hope of reuniting. Fa said: "The signing of the divorce agreement is about to be completed, and obviously their relationship has come to an end. "

Vazquez said: "The relationship between the two parties is no longer friendly and has become polite. We do not mean that the relationship between the two is tense, but the breakup process has entered a new stage. Now, perhaps more eager to determine the end date of the relationship."

54-year-old Guardiola and 52-year-old Christina have been together for 30 years and got married in 2014. Christina, who runs her own fashion business, failed to adapt to life in Manchester five years ago and returned to Spain. Sources said the two agreed to break up in December just weeks after Guardiola signed a new contract. Christina told her friends that this was the last straw that broke her.
