Pirates reached the Final of the second-tier continental event, losing 2-1 on aggregate to Tunisian outfit Etoile du Sahel on Sunday.
Eric Tinkler and his charges - minus Gift Motupa and Menzi Masuku - arrived back in the country this morning at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg.
Motupa and Masuku have linked up with the national U-23 side in Senegal for the CAF U-23 Africa Cup of Nations. The pair played a key role in a 3-2 win over Zambia on Tuesday, earning praise from coach Owen da Gama.
