NEW coach Matthew Mott has acknowledged the need to earn the respect of the Glamorgan players, officials and supporters after landing the job at the Swalec Stadium.

The Australian has penned a three-year deal with Glamorgan and will start the role in March after finishing his duties with New South Wales.

Swalec Stadium chiefs will hope his appointment brings some calm after a chaotic few months in Cardiff.

The 37-year-old will work under Colin Metson, whose appointment as managing director of cricket led to cricket director Matthew Maynard resigning.

That in turn led to the departure of former captain Jamie Dalrymple, who had seen South African Alviro Petersen given his job, and president Peter Walker.

Mott, who visited Cardiff when Matthew Elliott was opening the batting and consulted with Jimmy Maher and Michael Kasprowicz about heading to Glamorgan, knows he must make a quick impression.

"Every time that you go into a new environment you have to earn the respect of the people around you," he said.

"There have been changes and people will agree with certain things and not others.

"It is up to us to instill confidence and belief that we have the club’s best interests at heart.

"People are keen that the club is not just an overnight success but a consistent success. I have got three years to make sure that the club is a winning one.

"I don’t expect to make too many changes but I will be a fresh pair of eyes and will reward players that want to be part of a successful culture."

Mott heads to the Swalec Stadium with demands for one-day success by the club’s hierarchy ringing in his ears.

It was failure in limited overs cricket that ultimately did for Maynard, who failed to satisfy the club officials’ desire for big crowds in the Twenty20 Cup and Pro40 League.

Mott, however, doesn’t believe it is that simple. Continuing his predecessor’s sterling work in the County Championship is high on the Australian’s agenda.

"What I will try to bring to Glamorgan is what I have tried to bring to New South Wales, which is consistency in all three forms of the game," he said.

"They are three equally important competitions and will all get the attention that they deserve.

"While they are very different formats, the skills required are transferable and we will be looking to play to a high standard in every game."

Petersen made his first trip to Cardiff earlier this week to meet his new teammates and the media.

He was keen to stress the importance of the captain-coach relationship and, after meeting his new skipper, Mott believes Petersen will prove to be a quality acquisition.

He said: "I was very impressed with Alviro as a leader, he seems an outstanding person and is determined to form a great partnership with me and his new teammates.

"As a coach it is critical that you work well with your captain and, after speaking with (former South Africa coach) Micky Arthur who is out here with Western Australia, I think it is clear that the club have made a good choice in Alviro."
