Sven-Goran Eriksson has been appointed as the new coach of Mexico.
"It's unanimous.
Eriksson has been accepted," said Guadalajara president and member of the Mexican federation's executive committee Jorge Vergara.
Former England coach Eriksson, 60, was sacked as manager of Manchester City on Monday after a season in charge.
The decision to name Eriksson as Hugo Sanchez's successor was taken at a meeting of the 18 managers of the country's first division.
Eriksson was the only serious contender for the Mexico job, which has been vacant since Sanchez left in March.
The Swede spent five-and-a-half years in charge of England, from January 2001 until July 2006, taking them to two World Cup quarter-finals.
Mexico are looking for a manager to take them to the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa.
Since Sanchez left earlier this year, Jesus Ramirez has been in charge - and he is expected to lead Mexico for the last time in a friendly against Argentina on Wednesday.
Eriksson's season-long stint at City was officially brought to an end on Monday by the club's owner Thaksin Shinawatra, following weeks of speculation.
BBC Sport revealed in April that Eriksson was no longer wanted by owner Thaksin, despite City finishing ninth in the Premiership.
Eriksson has also been linked with the vacant post at Chelsea.
