Pep Guardiola’s wife has gone back to
live in Spain after spending three years
with her hubby in England.
According to a report by Sunday Mirror
Sport, Guardiola’s spouse, Cristina,
returned to Barcelona with one of the
couple’s three children to look after her
business interests.
She owns a successful fashion company
in Catalonia and has been managing the
enterprise by commuting regularly
from Manchester for the last three
years. But the plan is for her to base
herself in Barcelona for the next few
months before returning permanently
to the luxury city-centre apartment that
has become home to the Guardiola
family.
The arrangement means husband Pep
will take care of the couple’s other two
kids – as well as masterminding his
club’s bid for a third successive
Premier League title and Champions
League glory while his wife is away.
The 48-year-old former Barcelona and
Bayern Munich coach is in his fourth
season at City and is contracted to the
club until 2022 after signing an
extension in May last year.
Guardiola met his wife when she was
working in her family’s exclusive
clothes boutique in Barcelona. He was
playing for Barca at the time but visited
the shop after being asked to do some
modelling for designer Antonio Miro.
They got married in May 2014 and have
three children, Marius, Maria and
Valentina.
