Brazilian coaches name Messi the world's best player


Lionel Messi has been voted the world's best player ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo in a poll of the Brasilerao Serie A's 20 managers.

All of the division's coaches were asked who they would sign if they had the opportunity to buy one of the two forwards, with Messi coming out on top despite the fierce rivalry between Brazil and Argentina.
The Barcelona star won the votes of 14 of the league's managers, in a poll which was conducted by the blogPombo, which is part of theGloboesporteteam.
Ronaldo lagged behind with the support of five Serie A trainers, among them former Brazil boss Mano Menezes, while one manager - Sport chief Falcao - refused to pick between the pair.
Who would you sign if you had a spare €100 million in your back pocket?
