The appointment marks his sixth job in five years but Simeone insisted he is fully committed to reviving the fortunes the seven-time Primera Division champions.
"We have to plan our objectives step by step," Simeone said. "After finishing 15th [in the Clausura], we will have to take things slowly and with great care.
"We know that we are growing, but the plain fact is that we came 15th. The first aim is to get into a cup competition, something that hasn't happened for a while here."
Simeone, who has 106 international caps for the Albiceleste, won the Apertura with Esudiantes in 2006 and the Clausura with River Plate, before moving on to San Lorenzo and then Catania.
