De Villiers was unveiled by the Zimbabwe Rugby Union on Wednesday in Harare and he told reporters it was the "greatest day of my life".
De Villiers, known for his out-spoken views on the game, coached the Sprinboks between 2007 and 2011, winning the Tri-Nations in 2009 and a series against the British & Irish Lions that same year.
He was axed after their controversial 11-9 loss to Australia in the quarter-finals of the World Cup seven years ago.
