The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has announced the former Barcelona boss will be the full-time successor to Julen Lopetegui.
Lopetegui was sacked on the eve of the World Cup after accepting a post at Real Madrid, with Fernando Hierro taking temporary charge at the tournament in Russia.
Enrique, 48, won two LaLiga titles and the Champions League with Barcelona before stepping down last year. He has previously coached at Roma and Celta Vigo.
As a player he won 62 caps for Spain and played at three World Cups as well as winning Olympic gold in 1992.
Speaking at a press conference widely covered by the Spanish media, RFEF president Luis Rubiales said Enrique’s appointment, on a two-year contract with no escape clause, had been unanimously agreed by the board. A formal unveiling is likely to take place next week.
