Ammon News - PEP Guardiola’s divorce is set to be finalised “imminently”.

The Manchester City boss and wife Cristina Serra had hoped to keep their split friendly, but sources say there is now “more urgency” as their relationship has deteriorated.

Pep’s marriage woes, reported by The Sun in January, coincided with his worst slump as a manager.

And there are fears the troubles could overshadow the start of the new season.

The Spaniard has already vowed to leave the Etihad after his contract runs out in 2027, saying he needs to “focus on myself”.

Insiders said his relationship with estranged wife Cristina has moved from “friendly to cordial” amid “complicated negotiations”.

They expect details to be finalised in weeks and made official as early as next month.

Respected Spanish journalists Laura Fa and Lorena Vazquez, who broke the story of their split, insisted there is no way back.

Fa said: “The signing of this divorce is going to be imminent. Evidently their relationship sentimentally has come to an end.”

Vazquez said: “The relationship has ceased to be friendly and has become cordial. We’re not saying there’s tension between them but the break-up has moved on to another level.

“There’s perhaps more urgency to set a date for the end of this relationship.”

Pep, 54, and Cristina, 52, have been together for 30 years and wed in 2014. The Sun
