Julen Lopetegui was axed by Real Madrid following a 5-1 defeat to Barcelona
Lopetegui fills the managerial vacancy at the LaLiga club after Pablo Machin was axed when they were knocked out of the Europa League by Slavia Praha.
Sevilla announced the appointment on Tuesday and is due to be presented to fans and the press on Wednesday.
His spell at the helm of Los Blancos was short lived and was sacked just a few months after taking over.
He was relieved of his duties following an embarrassing 5-1 Clasico defeat to Barcelona.
Lopetegui took over at Real Madrid in controversial circumstances as a deal was struck while he was still in charge of the Spain national side.
