The former Lions assistant manager had returned to the New Den in March to help then boss David Tuttle - and was asked to stay on during the summer.
"At that time, we felt having someone of Ray's experience and knowledge would be a great advantage," chairman Stewart Till told the club website.

Till also insisted that they would not be rushing to appoint a new manager, a week after parting company with Nigel Spackman....

RAY WILKINS has followed manager Nigel Spackman through the exit door at Millwall.
Former Chelsea, Manchester United and England skipper Wilkins was sacked as the League One club's director of football last night.
Spackman was fired last week following the Lions' poor start to the season.
Now Wilkins, who arrived at the New Den in the summer and influenced Spackman's appointment plus the signing of several new players, has gone too.
Millwall have had seven managers since the departure of Dennis Wise less than 18 months ago.
