Italian D'Aversa returns to management with Empoli, who finished 17th out of 20 last season, after being sacked by Lecce in March for headbutting an opposition player.
The 48-year-old has also had spells in charge of Sampdoria and Parma having come through AC Milan's youth academy as a player.
"Empoli announce that it has entrusted the technical guidance of the first team to Roberto D'Aversa," they said.
"The coach has signed a contract until June 30, 2026," the three-time Serie B winners added.
Milan, Juventus and Napoli are among the other Italian top-flight clubs to have changed coaches this summer.
The new Serie A campaign begins on the weekend of August 17-18.
