The appointment comes four months after he was sacked by Chelsea - after only eight months of a three year contract following a dismal run - and a month after Harry Redknapp was dismissed by the club in June.
34 year old Villas-Boas was rumoured to be top of Spurs' chairman Daniel Levy's list as Redknapp's successor, ahead of France manager Laurent Blanc.
The Portuguese manager will now be in charge of creating a young Spurs side who will be expected to challenge for a top four position in the Premier League and in doing so qualify for the Champions League.
Before his unsucessful tenure at Chelsea, Villas-Boas, who once was assistant to Jose Mourinho, masterminded a quadruple of trophies at Porto in his first full season as a manager, leading his team in an unbeaten league campaign.
