Cocu will replace Dick Advocaat, whose contract expired at the end of the season after he led the club to a second-place finish, seven points adrift of champions Ajax.
The 42-year-old had two spells at PSV during his playing career, while he also enjoyed time at Barcelona and earned 101 caps for the Netherlands.
