Big Eck jumped ship in June 2011 (154 months ago). Since then we've had 19 managers by my count (and with a little help from wikipedia):
Hughton
Clark
Beale (caretaker)
Rowett
Zola
Redknapp
Carsley (caretaker)
Cotterill
Monk
Clotet
Spooner (caretaker)
Karanka
Bowyer
Eustace
Rooney
Spooner (caretaker)
Mowbray
Venus (sort of caretaker)
Rowett
That averages out at 8 months per manager, even shorter if we assume that Mowbray returns in a few months time to become the 20th. Leeds run us close, but they could at least point to some success during that time (while we've been stinking out the championship year in year out).
Is there any other professional football team that can beat it?
From Wiki...Watford have had 23 since June 2011:
Sean Dyche
Gianfranco Zola
Giuseppe Sannino
Óscar García Junyent
Billy McKinlay
Slaviša Jokanović
Quique Sánchez Flores
Walter Mazzarri
Marco Silva
Javi Gracia
Quique Sánchez Flores
Hayden Mullins (caretaker)
Nigel Pearson
Hayden Mullins (caretaker)
Vladimir Ivić
Xisco Muñoz
Claudio Ranieri
Roy Hodgson
Rob Edwards
Slaven Bilić
Chris Wilder
Valérien Ismaël
Tom Cleverley (caretaker)
I think Watford were the glaring one.
Can anyone beat Juke's eight years at one club, beginning and ending his tenure with the same, returning manager but 13 managers in between?
That's the one that might be unique, given the returning manager aspect.
EDIT - assuming Juke doesn't get another playing contract and Rowett doesn't fall out of a hot air balloon between now and the 4th May.
Five managers in one season has to be a record.
Also, for Venus to “out Rooney” Rooney in points per game is an incredible performance,

Five managers in three months so far this year
BluenoseMo6 managers this season if you count Venus
We had a different manager every time we played Hull this season.
Birmingham City where manager of the month is a job title not an award.
Before all this our record wasn't that bad at all was it? I mean TF & Bruce were in the role for at least 4 years each
When you look at the instability in ownership and management in this period, it is an absolute miracle we've retained our place in this division, frankly.

Very good 👍
I've bought a 7" diameter flat piece of black plastic with a hole in the middle. Is this a record?

Before all of that lot going back to 1991 there were only five in two decades; Cooper, Fry, TF, Bruce & McLeish
Shows how much football has changed I guess

Might be a record whilst also stagnating in one division.
