The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the extension had not been announced.
Lovullo had his contract extended through 2024 in June, before the D-backs went on their unexpected postseason run. Arizona beat Milwaukee, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia in the playoffs, then lost to Texas in a five-game World Series.
The 58-year-old Lovullo completed his seventh season with the D-backs. He was the NL Manager of the Year in 2017.
