The attacking midfielder enjoyed a fine career during his playing days.
He turned out for the likes of Dulwich Hamlet, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, Queens Park Rangers and Tottenham.
Gray, 59, however, started his career at Corinthian Casuals, the club that he is now managing.
He admitted that it was the only club that he would have considered becoming the manager of.
When accepting the job, Gray said: “It’s surreal to be back.
“This is the only kind of management job I would have considered.
“I know what it means to play for Corinthian-Casuals and I will turn every stone for this club.
“I’m looking forward to getting started.”
