Páník graduated from pedagogy at Palacký University in Olomouc. As a football player, he played for several lower tier clubs. He began coaching in 2000 taking over FC Tescoma Zlín, at that time in Czech Second League. Three years later, he moved to Poland, where he coached Lech Poznań and Pogoń Szczecin in Ekstraklasa and Miedź Legnica in the third-tier.

In winter of 2014 he was appointed again as a manager of FC Fastav Zlín, replacing Martin Pulpit. In his first season in Zlín, he achieved promotion to Czech First League. In the 2016/2017 season, Páník advanced with Zlín to the final of the Czech Football Cup, where Zlín beat SFC Opava, thus qualifying for the group stage of UEFA Europa League. For the first time in 47 years, FC Zlín qualified for European competitions.[2] In February of the 2017/2018 season he was sacked from Zlín after unsatisfactory league results.[3] In March 2018 he was hired by Baník Ostrava, replacing unsuccessful coach Radim Kučera.[4] Managing Baník in the last ten matches of the 2017–18 season, he was able to avoid relegation.
