"Leonid has enjoyed success at both club and international level and I am excited about his plans for guiding us back towards the Premier League."
Slutsky has received the support of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich throughout his transition to England as he becomes the first Russian to work with an English club.
"I already know that this is an important club with a big and loyal fan base. I've had a good feeling about it ever since meeting the Allam family and I can't wait to get started next week," Slutsky said on the club website.
