Ramos, who resigned from his post as Sevilla coach on Friday night, replaces Martin Jol who left the North Londoners after Thursday's Uefa Cup defeat to Getafe.
Ramos' first game in charge of first-team affairs will be next week's Carling Cup clash with Blackpool with with development coach Clive Allen and youth team boss Alex Inglethorpe at the helm for Sunday's Premier League clash against Blackburn at White Hart Lane.
Spurs have also confirmed that they have requested permission from Leeds to speak to assistant manager Gustavo Poyet with a view to the Uruguayan joining Ramos' coaching staff.
One man definitely joining Spurs' back-room staff is Marcos Alvarez who resigned from his position as Sevilla's physical trainer to follow Ramos to North London.
Excitement
Ramos expressed his excitement at the opportunity to test himself in England and insisted it was a chance he had always coveted.
"I greatly appreciate the opportunity to work as head coach at Tottenham Hotspur, a club with a great tradition and history," he told the club's official website.
"Ever since I started my coaching career I have wanted to work in England. It is my sincere hope that I can repay the faith the Spurs board has shown in me.
"I am looking forward to meeting the players. It is a squad any coach would be excited to work with. I genuinely believe that there is the potential to achieve great things together.
"I was hugely impressed with the Spurs fans both home and away when Sevilla played Spurs last season and it will be a privilege to be the coach of this club with the huge support it enjoys both at White Hart Lane and throughout the world."
Tottenham sporting director Damien Comolli was delighted that the club's pursuit of the Spaniard had finally borne fruit, declaring: "Juande's arrival is great news for Tottenham Hotspur.
"He brings with him a wealth of experience, a proven track record and a winning pedigree. Now is the time for us to regroup and look to deliver the results and performances that everyone associated with the Club wants to see.
"By making the appointment at this stage of the season, with our current, talented group of players, we have given ourselves the opportunity to compete well in all four competitions.
"Juande is a highly respected coach and his agreement to join us is excellent news. I know he is eager to get started."
