As they say, behind every successful man, there is a strong woman! Well, Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is no different.

Cristina is a well-renowned Brazilian journalist who juggles her life as a fashion designer.

However, Guardiola has never shied away from sharing interesting stories about his long-time partner in interviews. Now, while Pep might not be here to have a sit-down interview to discuss his wife, here’s all you need to know about the exceptional Cristina Serra!

Guardiola is in awe of his wife’s work, with the Spaniard speaking about his appreciation for Cristina’s fashion sense in an interview. “My wife is the best in the world at many things, but especially in fashion. So she says normally to me, don’t wear this or wear that. So I follow her. I am smart enough to know that when people are much, much better than me, follow their advice, and hers is really good,” he stated.

Serra and Guardiola have been together for almost three decades, with the two helping each other along the ride. The two have come a long way in their relationship and continue to be an inspiration to many.
