Bennett replaces Luke Hillier at the helm of the Blues. Hillier stepped down at season's end after four years in the top job.
Bennett returns to the post in a non-playing capacity after previously leading Coleambally for the 1999 and 2000 seasons.
He has had a strong involvement at Riverina League club Griffith over the years and was an assistant coach to Will Griggs at the Swans throughout 2018 and 2019.
Bennett's sons Dean and Kyle both crossed to Coleambally in recent seasons.
