Pep Guardiola's 82-year-old mother has died after contracting the coronavirus, Manchester City announced on Monday.

"The Manchester City family are devastated to report the death today of Pep's mother Dolors Sala Carrio in Manresa, Barcelona, after contracting coronavirus," the Premier League football club said in a statement.

"Everyone associated with the club sends their most heartfelt sympathy at this most distressing time to Pep, his family and all their friends."

Guardiola, 49, who has also coached Barcelona and Bayern Munich and spent most of his playing career with Barca, donated one million euros (1.08 million U.S. dollars) to buy medical supplies for the fight against the coronavirus pandemic in his native Spain last month.
