This question may be odd, but today i noticed something when my little magnet split into two pieces.
The poles reversed, so they could not get into "one piece" again (because the poles was reversed).
What is the physical explanation of this?

As you clarified in the comments to the question, it was a refrigerator magnet. Those magnets have the poles on the flat sides, so that they stick to the iron metal of the doors. When they break it will be into two flat pieces, which will have north next to north and south next to south, and therefore repel .

No, the poles did not reverse because the break cuts perpendicularly the north and south surfaces.
