The former Wales stopper made nine appearances for the Reds across two stints at the club.
"I am delighted to continue my journey at the club as part of the coaching staff, " Hennessey said.
"I really enjoyed my time as a player here and working with this incredible group.
"This marks a new chapter in my career, and I'm really looking forward to getting started in the role to help the team towards its goals."
Chief Football Officer Ross Wilson, added: "Everyone at the club is pleased Wayne is staying with us in a coaching capacity. Wayne brings a lot to the goalkeeping group off the pitch and will now work with Rui Barbosa and the team to further develop our keepers.
"Matz had a great season last year, and he undoubtedly benefits from the support and guidance of someone like Wayne, who has significant experience at the top level."
Image source, Getty ImagesThe Shut Up And Show More Football panel have been discussing Nottingham Forest's ascension to the Europa League after Crystal Palace were demoted to the Conference League for breaching multi-club ownership rules.
Palace chairman Steve Parish has described the Uefa decision as "the biggest injustice in the history of football" and confirmed they will be appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas), but BBC Radio Nottingham's David Jackson and Colin Fray see the verdict as "black and white" and point the finger at mistakes within the Eagles' hierarchy.
"There's an appeal coming," Jackson told the podcast.
"It all seems rather messy - however, it does seem black and white. There's precedent before, there was a rule set, and as cross as the Palace fans are with the Forest ownership and Uefa, you think maybe there should also be anger at Crystal Palace.
"They could have seen the potential of this coming. They could have put plans in place but didn't and therefore they have missed out."
"That's exactly right," added Fray.
"When you listen to some of the interviews from those involved in Palace, there's almost an acceptance that they have missed this deadline and didn't do something about it when they should have done.
"John Textor is now trying to sell his shares and that hasn't completely gone through but in any case it doesn't matter because there was a deadline that has been missed. The fact that he is only a 43% shareholder in Crystal Palace doesn't make any difference, it is over Uefa's stipulated limit. It seems there is a black-and-white breach here.
"I think there is a general feeling Cas is going to kick that appeal out."

Forest are considering legal action against the north London club as it is believed they are looking at whether a specific confidentiality agreement in the £60m release clause in Gibbs-White's contract has been breached.
"It is certainly one that Forest could have been doing without and one that has got the fans worried," Fray said on the Shut Up And Show More Football podcast.
"On the back of the exit of Anthony Elanga to Newcastle, fans were willing to accept that a big sale might be necessary this summer because that's life in the days of PSR and the Premier League. Although disappointed with that possibility and subsequent reality, people accepted that.
"But, to have this right on the heel of the Elanga deal caused a lot of concern among supporters, and still is. It is a moving situation and things may change quickly - but it is messy, it is horrible, Forest don't want to be there in that situation. I'm fairly sure Gibbs-White doesn't either."
Gibbs-White returned to training with Forest this week, adding to the speculation surrounding his future.
"It's going to be interesting to see how it plays out from here," added Fray.
"Most thought it would be ironed out and the transfer go through. Not many were expecting him back at training and here he is. That is another twist in the story.
"Forest have set their stall out that they aren't looking for a quick resolution. They want to keep him."
