Pep Guardiola opens up on divorce from ‘most beautiful woman on your planet’

  • Pep Guardiola has opened up about his heartbreak over his divorce from ex-wife Cristina Serra in a new documentary series.
  • The Spanish football manager’s decade at Manchester City is explored in the four-part series A Beautiful Obsession , which airs on Amazon Prime from Wednesday.
  • In the series, Guardiola gives Man City players a fiery team talk, demanding that they show the passion he has lost.
  • “I’m f***ing divorced from the most beautiful woman on your planet. It’s my wife – my ex-wife,” he says. “I love her unbelievably. But we lost the passion.”
  • He goes on: “It’s how you play football. You play because of something inside, but where is the passion? In your life, whatever you are going to do, do it with passion. I don’t want good players, I want players with passion.”
