Paks

On 14 February 2023, Bognár returned to Paks. On 10 April 2024, he renewed his contract with Paks. On 15 May 2024, he won the 2024 Magyar Kupa Final with Paks by beating Ferencváros 2–0 at the Puskás Aréna. In an interview, published in Nemzeti Sport, he said that the main aim of Paks would be to avoid relegation even if the club were really successful in the 2023-24 season. In the 2023–24 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season Paks were competing with Ferencváros for the title, however, in the last couple of matches Paks could not keep up with the financially more stable Budapest-based club and, finally, Paks finished second. On 7 May 2025, he renewed his contract with Paks. On 14 May 2025, he won the 2025 Magyar Kupa final with Paksi FC after beating Ferencvárosi TC 4–3 on penalty shoot-out. Before the match, Bognár said that the president of Ferencváros is a clown at a press conference. After the victory at the 2025 Magyar Kupa final, Bognár said that for the Hungarian football it is better if Ferencváros wins the Nemzeti Bajnokság I.

He is the father of István Bognár. In 2021 he and his son were transported to hospital due to COVID-19. He was married to Rita Tamás. In 2016, his ex-wife stood by him when Bognár received very negative comments on his behaviour in the Hungarian media.
