Spanish children would love to have Lionel Messi as their boss. Four other sportstars were named in the top 10 of a survey held by Adecco. 1,800 children between the ages of 4 and 16 completed the survey.

The Barcelona striker was named as the ideal boss by 21.9% of children, up one place from last year's rankings. Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't appear after he moved to Juventus.

Rafa Nadal (6.8%) is the only sportsperson who appears in both the boys and girls list.

Atletico Madrid's Diego Costa (6.3%) also makes the list, as does Isco (3.7%).

These results were part of an annual survery titled: "What do you want to be when you're older?" by Addeco. The top result for that question was a footballer (25.1%) for boys, with a teacher (19.9%) being the top answer for girls.
