The Sardinian side announced the appointment of the former Chelsea striker, who finished his playing career at Cagliari in 2005, in a statement on their official website.
The club said the 48-year-old would take his first training session when the team returned from the Christmas break on Sunday.
It is Zola's first coaching job since he left Watford in 2013.
