The appointment comes after a disappointing summer for Wexford, in which they exited the All-Ireland early, losing 1-22 to 2-13 in a qualifier against Limerick – a result which prompted Bonnar to offer his resignation.
Former All-Ireland winner Liam Griffin had been given the task of appointing a new boss, while Ger Doyle, Brendan Maher, Billy Byrnand, Darragh Ryan were also part of the selection committee.
Dunne previously managed Oulart the Ballagh, and oversaw their shock victory against James Stephens at the weekend.
