The former Chelsea boss emerged as the outstanding candidate during a three-week-long process that started when Spurs sacked Harry Redknapp in June.
Chairman Daniel Levy was so impressed by Villas-Boas during a series of talks that he shelved plans to talk to Laurent Blanc, the former France coach who started the search as the leading candidate.
Jose Mario Rocha has also joined Spurs as fitness coach and Daniel Sousa as opposition scout, while Villas-Boas is also looking to appoint a new assistant manager.
The 34-year-old’s appointment is a brave move by Spurs after his unsuccessful spell at Chelsea, who sacked him in March after a miserable eight months in west London, in which he clashed with several senior members of the squad.
He was, however, hugely successful in his single season at Porto in 2010-11, where he won four trophies and was billed as the next Jose Mourinho, under whom he used to work.
Villas-Boas will meet the players for the start of pre-season training next week before the squad embarks on a pre-season tour of the United States ahead of their Premier League opener against Newcastle on August 18.
