We consider the electron transport in single molecule magnet transistors in the presence of Zeeman spin splitting and magnetic quantum coherence (MQC). The Zeeman interaction is extended along the leads, thereby producing gaps in the energy spectrum which allow electron transport with spin polarized along a certain direction. The MQC induces an effective coupling between localized spin states and continuum spin states in the single molecule magnet and leads, respectively. We investigate the conductance at zero temperature as a function of the applied bias and magnetic field, and show that the MQC is responsible for the appearence of Fano resonances. Accordingly, we name them MQC-Fano resonances.
