"For me, having captained this country, to be offered the post of head coach is a great honour and I know with it comes responsibility not just to the players but to the fans and supporters of Zimbabwe cricket as well," Streak said.
"My promise is, I will leave no stone unturned in terms of our endeavour and our quest to improve the team's performances.
"I believe that we have the resources here to do just that and planning is obviously going to be a major factor." Streak previously had stints as bowling coach for Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.
He takes over as Zimbabwe bid to qualify for the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup. His immediate assignments are a two-match Test series at home to Sri Lanka, and a one-day international tri-series involving West Indies.
Streak replaces caretaker coach Makhaya Ntini with the South African returning to his role as bowling coach.
