Graham Murray will join forces with NRL super coach Wayne Bennett at Newcastle next season after accepting the position of Knights coaching director.
In 2000, he took the Roosters to the grand final but lost the decider to Brisbane, then coached by Bennett, who has taken over as head coach of the Knights.
Murray - the former NSW State of Origin coach - walked away from the NRL at the end of 2008 with a winning percentage of 50.8 from 331 games.

He had stints with four clubs, including 18 games coaching the Hunter Mariners in the rebel Super League competition in 1997.
Murray's last coaching job in the NRL was with North Queensland who he took to the 2005 NRL grand final only to lose to the Wests Tigers.
Murray resigned as Wynnum Manly Seagulls chief executive on Tuesday to take on his latest rugby league challenge with Nathan Tinkler's Knights.
His role will largely involve developing young players while also acting as a link between coaches across all grades.
"We see this as a really important role and it will play a big part in our intentions to foster and retain emerging talent from the area," Knights chief executive Matthew Gidley said today.
