Spans of control

Good morning all,

I've been asked this question from one of my manager and got really stuck:

What would you consider to be the ideal (or average) management span of control in the facilities management operations sector?

Is there some research anywhere that shows a benchmark, highlighting where Supervisors/Managers have too many people reporting to them?

I had a look online and couldn't find a clear number. Hopefully, someone came across this before?

Many thanks in advance,

Sabrina.
