Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola's mother, Dolors Sala Carrio, has passed away on Monday at the age of 82 in Barcelona after contracting coronavirus.
On its part, Man City management sent its condolences to the Spanish coach.
"Everyone associated with the club sends their most heartfelt sympathy at this most distressing time to Pep, his family and all their friends," said Manchester City on social media.
Earlier on Monday, Spain recorded 637 coronavirus deaths, raising the death toll in the European country to 13,055.
Manchester United mourned the death of Guardiola's mother as they posted on social media to say the club was "saddened to hear this terrible news", adding: "We send our heartfelt condolences to Pep and his family."
Spaniard Guardiola, 49, has been in charge of Manchester City since July 2016 after leading Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of Dolors Sala during this difficult time, and we would like to express our most heartfelt condolences, especially to Pep Guardiola, his family and his friends," Barcelona said on their official twitter page.
It is worth mentioning that Guardiola has donated in the last month €1 million (£920,000) to combat the coronavirus outbreak in Spain.
Guardiola, who is at his home in Barcelona, has been working with his lawyers over the past few days to work out the best way of using the money.
The money will be sent to a campaign being promoted by the Medical College of Barcelona and the Angel Soler Daniel Foundation.
