Pep Guardiola was brutally mocked when he arrived at Brentford amid reports that the Manchester City manager had “separated from his wife after 30 years together”.

Pep Guardiola received a rude welcome from fans outside Brentford's Gtech Community Stadium ahead of Man City's visit to the Premier League on Tuesday night.

After a poor run of results, including just one win in 13 in all competitions, City have won three in a row ahead of Tuesday night's trip to west London.

However, with reports emerging before the match that Guardiola was splitting from his wife Cristina Serra after three decades together, one person saw fit to discuss it with the City boss as he entered the Gtech Community Stadium.

After the team bus stopped in front of the field, the coach and his players headed to the locker room, while a fan shouted: “How is Mrs. Pep?” How is the lady?

Guardiola did not react to the spectators' shout and instead entered the stadium normally.

Manchester City manager Guardiola, 53, and Serra married in an intimate ceremony outside Barcelona in 2014 but have now decided to separate.

The news of their separation was first reported by a Spanish media. Sport. The couple, who met in 1994, had been living apart for more than five years after Serra returned to Barcelona with one of her three daughters, Valentina, 17, while Guardiola remained in Manchester.

They have two other children together: María, 24 years old, and Marius, 22.

Guardiola and Serra, a Brazilian journalist and writer, remained a couple despite not living in the same city and have since been photographed together regularly.

Sport reports that the decision to end their marriage was made in December, and only members of their inner circle were aware of the split. According to the publication, his trusted friends and family have also been told not to reveal any more information.
