The 43-year-old, a former assistant to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, replaces Portuguese Paulo Fonseca who left for Sporting Lisbon.
Fonseca's assistant Jorge Maciel had stepped in on an interim basis guiding the club to a 3-2 win over Crystal Palace in the Europa League but losing Sunday's Ligue 1 trip to Brest 2-0.
Vicens played in the lower tiers of Spanish football as a semi-professional until the age of 27.
