The former Brentford and Wigan boss was unveiled at a press conference toady, becoming the fifth head coach in less than a year at Elland Road.
However, the 46-year-old insists he had no hesitation about working under the stewardship of Massimo Cellino, who known as the 'manager eater'.
"I'm very happy to be here," said Rosler, who becomes Cellino's fifth head coach since he took control of the club in April 2014.
"This opportunity came at very short notice and it can't get bigger than this. It was a no-brainer.

"Life is a challenge. I know what I'm getting myself into. I thrive on pressure and challenges. I'm not suicidal. If I didn't see a chance to be successful, I wouldn't have taken it.
"I'm a hard-working person. It's the way I was brought up, the way I played the game, the way I deal with personal problems and the way I manage. I think you need those qualities to win the crowd over here.
