The 44-year-old replaces Enzo Maresca, who left the club this month to join Chelsea. Maresca led Leicester straight back to the top flight as they finished top of the Championship.
"I am excited to work with such a talented squad and I’m looking forward to the challenge of achieving our shared ambitions in the Premier League," Cooper said in a statement.
